Make a Gift

inspires

The Sycamore Inspires Campaign was kicked off in Fall, 2022 and is the fourth campaign in Sycamore’s history and also the smallest and shortest campaign. The goal is to raise $2.6 million dollars in gifts and pledges over a two-year period. Sycamore Inspires has three goals: 1) to fully reimagine and build a renovated Media Center ($1.1M); 2) to create the Borgmann Inspiration Fund as a source for teacher renewal projects ($500K); and 3) to maintain the Sycamore Fund for two years ($1M).

Media Center

As you enter the school, the new Media Center will generate an energy that will flow into the Guenthner Lobby and the rest of the building. This flagship project will transform the existing library into a modern, multi-use hub for students, expanding opportunities for teaching and learning and infusing a modern vibe into the specialized spaces. The Media Center will become a place that everyone wants to be, bustling with activity and student life.

With added technology and access, instruction can take place in various areas of the Media Center, including collaborative spaces. Apple TV will make projecting material possible in different settings. Natural and LED lighting with brighten the space along with adding color and images to walls and fixtures, drawing students and teachers in. Murals and use of color will enliven the space and define separate areas.

The Borgmann Inspiration Fund will demonstrate our love and appreciation for our teachers and staff. We want them to think expansively about ways to gain renewal and refreshment of their own professional zeal. Unlike professional development funds, these grants are meant to support creative, intellectual, and personal growth, fueling a personal, purposeful interest, such as going on an African safari or an archeological dig. Sycamore will continue to offer professional development opportunities to our faculty and staff and the Borgmann Inspiration Fund will go above and beyond those opportunities. Teachers, staff—and students—will benefit as they approach their work with new passion and creative energy.
